Pressing Ctrl+c will stop a process in your terminal

Or, you can always type "killall top" as your user, and it will kill all "top" processes started as your user.

If it's crashed you may need to kill it by closing the terminal or killing it with a new terminal as gruven suggests

Or, if it opens top in a terminal, you can just hit "q" and top will exit.
